The central heating is controlled via a both a thermostat and digital controller located to the right of the breakfast bar. To turn on the heating, watch this video for a visual. Ensure the thermostat dial is turned around to between 25-30°. Open the front cover of the digital panel, then press the blue button until the screen shows HEATING ON. The red light will illuminate. To turn this off, press the same button until it moves to OFF. We ask that this is never left on overnight or while you are not currently inside the property.
If you find the heating hasn’t fired up, you can find the main boiler in the kitchen cupboard to the left of the sink. Ensure this is switched on and not showing any errors. If none of the above is working, simply contact the team in the office and one of our Maintenance team can promptly attend.

Too toasty?! On the rare occasion that the city does see a spectacular summer’s day, we do also have a small number of fans available. Contact the office to request one but, please note, this is subject to availability.

All properties have a hairdryer to hand and we provide one set of towels per guest to save you some room in your suitcase!
As we’re self-serviced accommodation and not a hotel, daily housekeeping is not provided. However, if you are staying with us for more than seven days, someone will attend to turnover the house and restock your linen. This is will be pre-arranged with the team in the office.
A small number of toilet rolls and miniature toiletries are left to get you started on your first night. The Tesco Metro located a minute away on Dublin Road would be your closest location to stock up on supplies.
freshen up
You’ll find plenty of space to chill out in the cosy living space.
The TV is equipped with Freeview as well as Smart apps such as Netflix and BBC iPlayer. The larger remote operates the TV generally while the smaller one is for the Firestick and will allow you to access streaming facilities. Use your own account details to sign into these and we would just gently remind you to sign out before departing!
*If you forget, don’t worry - just contact the team in the office and we’ll have a member of staff head down and log you out.

You will find the washing machine in the kitchen while the iron and ironing board are in the hallway cupboard A small number of laundry capsules can be found below the kitchen sink. This is a washer only and not a tumble dryer so you will need to use the air dryer to hang your wet laundry.

The bedrooms has a built-in wardrobe where you’ll find hanging space for those items you want to keep neat and tidy and there is room in the hallway cupboard to store away luggage during your stay.

The private kitchen is always a hit with our guests. Here you’ll have everything you need to whip up a tasty, home-cooked meal or a warm breakfast on a cold winter’s day.
As we’re self-serviced accommodation, we provide utensils, cookware and crockery, but the cupboards and the fridge are left bare for you to stock with what you need. Pull up a seat at the dining table and relax over your morning coffee before setting off for a full day of sights or shopping.
Ensure the cooker is switched on at the wall and adjust knobs for temperature and function to use the oven accordingly.
Before you leave the house on the morning of your departure, we simply ask that you pop your crockery in the dishwasher and clean any pots and pans you might have used.

Although it can sometimes feel like it, we aren’t a hotel so some of our processes will be different. As daily Housekeeping isn’t a feature of self-serviced accommodation, it may be the case that you start to accumulate more rubbish than fits in your personal, indoor bins.
If that’s the case, we would kindly ask that you remove this to the larger outdoor bin to prevent any spillages or odours in-house. You’ll find this in the rear yard, accessed through the back door in the kitchen.
Replacement bin-bags will be under the sink in the kitchen and we thank you for your kind co-operation.
